Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire—its head with its legs and its entrails. You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire. And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover.
This very evening as the full Moon rises over the eastern horizon and the Sun sinks behind the trees, it is the Lord's Passover.
Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
Tonight I will escape the cares of this world and find my way to the hayfield. I will remember the terrible wages of sin, and the One who bought my freedom. As John proclaimed from the River Jordan, "Behold! The Lamb of God! Who takes away the sin of the world!" I will proclaim in my heart; Behold! the Lamb of God that was slain for me!
Take time this Passover Night to remember the One who died for you.
